Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction – Pre-conference Interactive Session

Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC partner Geoscience Australia is co-hosting a pre-conference workshop at the upcoming Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Cancun, Mexico on 23 May 2017. This workshop will address the Sendai Framework Priority 1: Understanding Disaster Risk.

The objective of this pre-conference event is to provide the audience an update on policy and technical aspects of the most recent approaches in risk assessment for disaster risk reduction.

To achieve this objective, the session will have two parts. The first part will highlight the critical governance and technical elements to ensuring data can be translated into usable information for decision making through case studies. The second part will showcase international and local expertise, tools and platforms available to governments embarking on the development and use of risk information.
